(i don't see any of these posts thus far in 2020, so perhaps
they've fallen out of vogue? i'm merely blindly complying with
the instructions at [0]).
hello there in RPM land! i'm a longtime linux user/developer.
my first Linux install was RedHat 5.1 in the summer of 1998,
and i've been Free ever since. i primarily run Debian and Arch
these days, but do some RHEL work professionally, and am very
interested in ensuring my software runs on rawhide and friends.
my immediate motivation for joining the Fedora community is
packaging up a recent library of mine, "notcurses", best
summarized as a baby of ncurses and ffmpeg [1]. there's a demo
here [2] that you might find entertaining. i've written a book
which is available for purchase [3] or free download [4]. i've
spoken with Mssr. David Cantrell, a fellow Yellow Jacket, and
believe in him to have secured a sponsor.
Ok, well let me know if you need a sponsor. I generally prefer CMake based projects anyway :)
So the only problem I see is that notcurses depends on ffmpeg, which is not allowed in Fedora. I see it's technically "optional", but I wonder about the usefulness of the resultant package without it.
It's technically possible to be sponsored at RPM Fusion first (I was) but it's not preferred. Perhaps one of your other projects could be submitted here first?
Thanks,
Richard
